In a legitimate crowdfunding platform, creators should only be able to withdraw funds after the campaign succeeds - meaning the funding goal is met and the deadline has passed. This protects contributors from creators who might take the money and run.
The withdraw() function allows the creator to withdraw all raised funds without any validation that the goal was met or the deadline passed. A malicious creator can immediately drain all contributions the moment they arrive.
Likelihood: High
Any creator can call withdraw() at any time after receiving contributions
No special conditions or timing required - exploit is always available
Malicious actors will specifically target this for guaranteed profit
Impact: High
Complete theft of all contributed funds
Contributors have no recourse - funds are gone before deadline
Destroys trust in the entire platform
Classic "rug pull" attack vector
Also add the new error code:
## Description A Malicious creator can withdraw funds before the campaign's deadline. ## Vulnerability Details There is no check in withdraw if the campaign ended before the creator can withdraw funds. ```Rust pub fn withdraw(ctx: Context<FundWithdraw>) -> Result<()> { let amount = ctx.accounts.fund.amount_raised; **ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_sub(amount) .ok_or(ProgramError::InsufficientFunds)?; **ctx.accounts.creator.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.creator.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_add(amount) .ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?; Ok(()) } ``` ## Impact A Malicious creator can withdraw all the campaign funds before deadline which is against the intended logic of the program. ## Recommendations Add check for if campaign as reached deadline before a creator can withdraw ```Rust pub fn withdraw(ctx: Context<FundWithdraw>) -> Result<()> { //add this if ctx.accounts.fund.deadline != 0 && ctx.accounts.fund.deadline > Clock::get().unwrap().unix_timestamp.try_into().unwrap() { return Err(ErrorCode::DeadlineNotReached.into()); } //stops here let amount = ctx.accounts.fund.amount_raised; **ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.fund.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_sub(amount) .ok_or(ProgramError::InsufficientFunds)?; **ctx.accounts.creator.to_account_info().try_borrow_mut_lamports()? = ctx.accounts.creator.to_account_info().lamports() .checked_add(amount) .ok_or(ErrorCode::CalculationOverflow)?; Ok(()) } ``` ## POC keep everything in `./tests/rustfund.rs` up on to `Contribute to fund` test, then add the below: ```TypeScript it("Creator withdraws funds when deadline is not reached", async () => { const creatorBalanceBefore = await provider.connection.getBalance(creator.publicKey); const fund = await program.account.fund.fetch(fundPDA); await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 150)); //default 15000 console.log("goal", fund.goal.toNumber()); console.log("fundBalance", await provider.connection.getBalance(fundPDA)); console.log("creatorBalanceBefore", await provider.connection.getBalance(creator.publicKey)); await program.methods .withdraw() .accounts({ fund: fundPDA, creator: creator.publicKey, systemProgram: anchor.web3.SystemProgram.programId, }) .rpc(); const creatorBalanceAfter = await provider.connection.getBalance(creator.publicKey); console.log("creatorBalanceAfter", creatorBalanceAfter); console.log("fundBalanceAfter", await provider.connection.getBalance(fundPDA)); }); ``` this outputs: ```Python goal 1000000000 fundBalance 537590960 creatorBalanceBefore 499999999460946370 creatorBalanceAfter 499999999960941400 fundBalanceAfter 37590960 ✔ Creator withdraws funds when deadline is not reached (398ms) ``` We can notice that the creator withdraws funds from the campaign before the deadline.
